Samsung Electronics today introduced the Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo smartwatches, both based on a Tizen-based wearable platform.

Tizen is an operating system Samsung is developing with Intel
and a handful of telecommunications companies, including
Japan's NTT DoCoMo and France's Orange SA. Samsung keeps
working with Google, using its Android operating system to
power most of its devices.

"Samsung continues to lead innovation in the wearable market
by creating devices that are completely integrated into the
lives of consumers through extended connectivity features,
stylish customization options and a robust application
ecosystem," Said JK Shin, CEO and President of IT & Mobile
Division, Samsung Electronics. "With the Samsung Gear 2 and
Gear 2 Neo, we have enhanced everything consumers love about
the Gear to offer unparalleled smart freedom in their everyday
life."

Samsung said its new smartwatch will come in two
models, including a lower-priced version with no camera
function.

Both devices offer a lightweight design. A Camera is equipped
to a main body instead to strap, making the Samsung Gear 2 a
sleek smart companion. The lower-priced Gear 2 Neo version
has no camera function.

The Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo are companion devices, as they
allow users to accept or ignore incoming calls and messages,
and providing notification options based on a user's activity.

Both devices are also offering users standalone features, such
as controlling electronic products such as TV, settop box
through WatchON Remote application in their own home with an
embedded IrLED sensor. They also feature a standalone music
player with Bluetooth headset.

Both devices also offer personal fitness coaching in real
time, allowing users to develop a customizable fitness routine
and monitor their heart rate.

Finally, the Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo let users connect
to a variety of Samsung devices and access an application
ecosystem as the first wearable powered by Tizen based
wearable platform. Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo are
compatible with more than dozens of Samsung Galaxy smartphones
at launch.

Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo will be available around the
world starting from April.

Google and LG are also said to be working on a smartwatch that will be unveiled in June at the Google I/O conference.
